The Protective Power of A Healthy Diet

A diet of the healthiest foods requires that you avoid processed foods. As soon as you trade in the excessive sugar, fat and salt for a diet of whole foods rich in antioxidants, it activates genes that burn fat and protect lean muscle tissue.

The best antioxidants are defined as having the highest ORAC value, which is a measurement of the antioxidant level of food. 

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and was developed by scientists at Tufts University under the direction of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

The higher the ORAC value, the more capable the food is of destroying free radicals! 

The daily consumption of high ORAC value foods can slow the aging process and help prevent disease.

Antioxidants can help slow the aging process, and protect the body against cancer, heart disease and cataracts.

Antioxidants protect the cells and help defend the skin against UV damage. 

They also appear to help strengthen the immune system, improve circulation, speed healing and reduce inflammation.
